The much-anticipated opening of the new-look Longsight Library is planned for the end of April but for those who couldn't wait that long, a sneak preview took place on Monday 22 March.
For anyone eager to catch a glimpse of the library before the new equipment, furniture and Adult Learning Centre move in, it opened its doors so people could see the changes that have been made.
Longsight Labour Campaigner, Suzanne Richards said: “Longsight Library is at the heart of our community and people keep asking me about the improvements that have been made and what will be on offer. This preview day has given people a chance to look round the building and see for themselves the new layout and speak to library staff about the changes.”
The library has been closed since February while major works have been undertaken to improve and expand the services for the area and to combine the library and learning centre facilities for the first time.
The library will include a new children’s zone, a homework club and the first headspace zone – a new laid-back environment for your people to read or get online.
The first floor will feature the new Learning Centre to include classrooms for various courses such as music, language, history, crafts, literacy and numeracy. There will also be a relaxing break-out space and community area.
